Sorrow

I spent the morning sitting in a Boulder courtroom, watching and listening as a stream of young men, and one young lady, passed through the system. A string of DUIs, robberies, breaking and entering, violation of probation ... those were the primary issues before the court on this particular morning in that particular courtroom.
I was there to support a friend and sat, grieving, praying, watching wives and mothers (and children) flinch as the judge said, "If you plead guilty, the sentence is three to five years; how do you plead?" And the boy, barely in his twenties, responding, "Guilty, your honor." Over and over.
I'm sure our Lord weeps over these lost sheep ...
